Easy access from highway 50 and great views. 4WD recommended due to snow, but not required during summer.

Trail is super easy and could probably be done in any passenger car. Maintained gravel road running parallel to HWY 50. There is a nice large clearing for a great lookout about halfway running east to west (Kyburz entrance driving towards Placerville).

Well maintained gravel road, no obstacles on the road, but brush is closing in on the road in a few places. Bushes rubbed on both sides in some places, so be prepared to buff out a few scratches. Still a beautiful drive, and worth the detour.

Beautiful little detour from highway 50, very quiet and quick enough, some really nice views of the valley below. Any normal car could do this entire trail, we'll maintained gravel road. We were happy we took the extra 15-30 min to do this on our way back from Tahoe.
